What does gigajoule/second measure?

Gigajoule/second measures power as 10^9 joules per second, equivalent to one gigawatt; it quantifies large rates of energy transfer.

Why convert gigajoule/second to foot pound-force/minute?

Converting allows expressing very large power values in imperial units commonly used in mechanical engineering and legacy documentation.

Is foot pound-force/minute a standard unit?

No, it is a non-SI unit used primarily in some legacy and imperial engineering contexts to measure mechanical power.
